Day 365 'Finale'

12.19.10

 

Who gives a shit what I did today? No one! No one ever did, all that matters is this. I finished this 365 and made it my bitch! Congrats to me for finishing something in my life.

 

Well, this project was exhausting, time consuming, hard, soul stealing, and painful. On a high note, interesting, educational, fun, exciting, and other madness. I can't even begin to explain how much I've learned since I started, the first day, with off camera flash. I had NO idea what the hell I was doing and it showed.

With help from numerous people, one in particular C.T. Pham, aka Phamster with figuring out what the hell to do and answered any questions I had along the way. His Flickr here www.flickr.com/photos/-phamster-/ Such a help, influence, smart, good guy. Cannot say enough good things about him. There are so many people that I want to thank, it's impossible to list them all. Thank EVERY one of you who has commented about my 365, being good, bad, anything. Thanks for the people who were IN my 365 too! I pushed forward every single day knowing there were people pushing me even if they said nothing. The positive feedback I've received from this project I would have never guessed. I can't believe I've actually inspired people. me, Matt Trombley, inspired someone, never thought I'd see that day. lol The amount of people that have added me on Flickr is crazy, the views, the comments, the favorites, etc, etc. The real life friends I've gotten to know...just awesome. Thank you all x1,000,000.

 

Finally, thank you Micheal Puleri for assisting w/ this final shot. ( www.flickr.com/people/37793971@N05/ ) Used 4 strobes. one in my 24" Qbox, gridded w/ a CTO gel, one snooted on the ground up at me, one snooted as a kicker/fill on tree, and one over pointed at the firehouse. Mike will post the setup shot once he gets it up if you're interested. :)

 

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!
